Houstonian accused of head-butting man in wheelchair over road rage

In a new twist on road rage, a Houston man is accused of head-butting a disabled man who he said cut in front of him in line at a southwest Houston grocery store, Harris County prosecutors said.

Michael McClelland Klotz, 32, has been charged with injury to a disabled individual, a felony, court records show. He remained at large Thursday.

The victim told police he was shopping at Sam’s Club, 1615 South Loop West, June 4 and was trying to make it to the tobacco section when a man began to curse at him, accusing him of cutting in line, according to an arrest warrant filed in the case.

Prosecutors said the suspect head-butted the victim so hard that his head “rocked back and struck a fixed object.” He suffered a black eye and swollen lump on the back of his head near the left ear, the arrest warrant states.

The victim later identified Klotz in a photo lineup, court records show.

The victim provided Houston police with paperwork from the Social Security Administration, which stated that he was ”physically disabled, after being diagnosed with diabetes, and suffering from multiple heart attacks,” court records show.
